Superstitions

Are You
Superstitious? Many people are, some more than others. There are
a good many people who are not superstitious at all. Which category do you fall
into? Are you or are you not superstitious?

Growing
up in the tall piney woods of deep east Texas, I heard various superstitions
from the time I was a little girl all the way through young adulthood. The most
common ones were probably the same ones everybody knows.

At the
top of every list, is the one about the black cat. The superstition is that if
a black cat crosses your path, it means you’re going to have bad luck. I saw
and heard of many people going out of their way to get ahead of a black cat.
Some even turned around and went back where they came from rather than to keep
going forward.

Are you
superstitious or not? Do you know anyone who is superstitious? Do you have a
superstition to share? We would love to hear about it.

Meeting your husband on the 13th and his birthday being on the 13th makes you two great candidate for not being superstitious too, Lin. Thank you for taking time to read and for leaving the nice comment.

I think I am anti-superstitious. I'll laugh at superstitions even when a weird coincidence happens. I've been saying for years that superstition is a religion of fear. Doesn't make sense does it ? The Castle Lady

I'm not religious, so I guess it's normal I'm not superstitious either I don't think. I used to half-belief the things that were suppose to be unlucky. I think 13 is a lucky number for me. Never had bad luck with it. But then again lucky is statistics taken on a personal level

"A religion of fear"...huh, Evelyn? That's a great way to look at it, had never thought about it that way. Thanks for the new perspective. Glad you had a chance to come by and leave the eye-opening comment.
